What's a good setup for running Sorex 28 tires on a really high grip carpet track, with a 13.5 BL motor? Most of the team setups I see are using different tires, full mod motors, on unknown surfaces. Oh yeah, I'm using a front one-way now, haven't really tried a spool yet.

Cyclone Starting Pinion size
I have a LRP 5.5 Brushless system, I will be using in cyclone s. The factory spur is a 96. What size pinion should I start with. Also Is there a size issue with the pinion. If so what is the largest size that fits. I was thinking a 31tooth might be a good starting point but I'm not sure.
I have seen a setup with a 108spur and a 35tooth pinion. with the 5.5 brushless. So do I need to change the spur as well?
Thanks.

Typically when you move the camber link to the outer position on the read hub carrier, it will make the rear of the car really lazy.
Of course, this isn't always entirely true. It also depends on the amount of traction available on the surface. So I would just give it a shot, and see how ya like it
Hope that helped you some.

Typically more camber change results in more grip, less camber change gives less grip. But like I said, it really depends on the track surface. It's something you'll just have to play with a little bit.

The only way you will ever solve this problem is to get alum hubs or tamiya rear hubs. It's an existing problem that you'll get a PC answer for from the sponsored guys but if you want it fixed do one of the above mentioned steps.

I have checked my toe at the back and mine is equal with plastic.
But i think im going to get the alu hub

Lazy or sluggish meaning it wont transfer weight around quick enough or it won't react quick enough on that end of the car.

Ahhh know i understand when people mean lazy .
would shorter link give more camber change or longer links would give more camber change ??
Whats better for my track ??
Also , whats the efect of less shims under the rear links , would it help change direction quicker ??? whats does it do?

Cyclone Speed, if you ever want to read a setup book that may help you understand a little more about setups, see if you can borrow an "XRAY SETUP GUIDE BOOK" if you can borrow one at the track. The book comes with all Xray car Kits. I keep one with me, since i have had those cars before.....It wont answer all the questions, but, you really should study it and try to understand what effects will do....BUT, IT ALL DEPENDS ON TRACK CONDITIONS.

And when i asked somebody if it was true (lower front RC ) and people said " no , i dont see wy it should give more on power steering.
So thats why im asking people , because the book doesnt say everything like camber change or shorter links ....
Thats why i ask people

for me, yes lower inner link(more angled down) in the front will generate more camber, resulting more traction(more steering) in different part of the turns.
